Sure my title is full of hyperbole, but it is no worse than Mr. X's Facebook claims...

Lou Dobbs has been a very loud anti-latino voice in the media, with his continuing diatribes against immigration. The Latino community is among the more conservative oriented minority groups in America. That's probably too much of a generalization, but Republicans have won elections in many states by courting the Latino vote.

My post was more of a joke that a conservative got his house shot at, so it had to be a liberal who did it, using his reasoning of course... Just taking a cheap shot at my favorite WE member lol...

Jones commented that he "wouldn't classify it [the gunfire incident] as very unusual." He also confirmed that there are hunters in the area, and stated that, "at this time of year hunter [shooting] complaints go up." He observed that in the ongoing police investigation sparked by Dobbs' complaint, "nothing has been determined [regarding] what the intended target for this bullet was." Nor did Jones confirm whether the shots near Dobbs' house appeared to be an accident or intentional. Another New Jersey State Police spokesperson, Sgt. Julian Castellanos, noted that "it's a wide open area and there are hunters in the area." Castellanos explained that the bullet had hit the house in vicinity of the attic; it "hit the vinyl siding and fell to the ground" without penetrating the vinyl, he said. While Lou Dobbs' wife, Debi Lee Segura, was standing outside the house at the time of the gunfire, the bullet did not come close to her; it "struck at the apex of the house, near the roof," and thus considerably higher than a standing person, Jones observed.<< <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/isabel-macdonald/nj-law-enforcement-appear_b_339696.html" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...696.html</a>
